MO DJ

While staying in Bamako, Amadou and Mariam’s manager is captivated by the Malian music remixes he hears on the radio. He goes looking for the person behind the electronic reinterpretations and discovers Moriké Keita aka Mo.Dj in a stall at the Bamako bus station. Mo has since been playing his groove box and effect-laden double CD decks continuously, providing DJ sets for Amadou and Mariam’s Paris concerts and setting the Transmusicales festival on fire. He mixes and remixes tracks by Malian artists, adding a very African techno touch. Based on an article by Benjamin Minimum
